In Village of Immigrants, Diana R. Gordon illustrates how small-town America has been revitalized by the arrival of these immigrants in Greenport, where she lives. Greenport today boasts a population that is one-third Hispanic. Gordon contends that these immigrants have effectively saved the town's economy by taking low-skill jobs, increasing the tax base, filling local schools, and patronizing local businesses. Greenport's seaside beauty still attracts summer tourists, but it is only with the support of the local Latino workforce that elegant restaurants and bed-and-breakfasts are able to serve these visitors. For Gordon the picture is complex, because the wave of immigrants also presents the town with challenges to its services and institutions. Gordon's portraits of local immigrants capture the positive and the negative, with a cast of characters ranging from a Guatemalan mother of three, including one child who is profoundly disabled, to a Colombian house painter with a successful business who cannot become licensed because he remains undocumented. Village of Immigrants weaves together these people's stories, fears, and dreams to reveal an environment plagued by threats of deportation, debts owed to coyotes, low wages, and the other bleak realities that shape the immigrant experience-even in the charming seaport town of Greenport. A timely contribution to the national dialogue on immigration, Gordon's book shows the pivotal role the American small town plays in the ongoing American immigrant story-as well as how this booming population is shaping and reviving rural communities. 410 0$aRivergate regionals. 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Social Policy$2bisacsh 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / Hispanic American Studies$2bisacsh 606 $aBUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Urban & Regional$2bisacsh 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Economic Policy$2bisacsh 606 $aHISTORY / United States / State & Local / Middle Atlantic (DC, DE, MD, NJ, NY, PA)$2bisacsh 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Emigration & Immigration$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial change$zNew York (State)$zGreenport 606 $aWorking class$zNew York (State)$zGreenport$vBiography 606 $aImmigrants$zNew York (State)$zGreenport$vBiography 606 $aHispanic Americans$zNew York (State)$zGreenport$vBiography 606 $aWorking class$zNew York (State)$zGreenport$xSocial conditions 606 $aImmigrants$zNew York (State)$zGreenport$xSocial conditions 606 $aHispanic Americans$zNew York (State)$zGreenport$xSocial conditions 607 $aGreenport (N.Y.)$xEconomic conditions 607 $aGreenport (N.Y.)$vBiography 607 $aGreenport (N.Y.)$xEthnic relations 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Social Policy. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / Hispanic American Studies. 615 7$aBUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Urban & Regional. 615 7$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Economic Policy. 615 7$aHISTORY / United States / State & Local / Middle Atlantic (DC, DE, MD, NJ, NY, PA). 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Emigration & Immigration. 615 0$aSocial change 615 0$aWorking class 615 0$aImmigrants 615 0$aHispanic Americans 615 0$aWorking class$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aImmigrants$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aHispanic Americans$xSocial conditions. 676 $a305.9/069120974721 700 $aGordon$b Diana R.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01084039 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797660703321 996 $aVillage of Immigrants$93834771 997 $aUNINA
